Evening all, washes on the extension - just needs some gentle dry brusing dust to blend the roof in and some on the edges of the posts (also noticed a piece of the roof edge missing paint) OC.

Thank you for that brother, trouble is I am trying to do everything scenery wise from stuff we have in the house, the only thing I want to pay out for is more figures when I can. OC.

Morning all, I have decided to attempt my scenery profiling using sheets of typing paper (as I have these to hand) has any body tried this formula for model scenery as I can not find any links on the net, its sounds straight forward in my head - just a case of having enough paper for the height I want - then just sloping the A4 sheets in the directions I want using PVA to keep them in place and build it up as I go, don't foregut on top of this I have my grass sheet that will be glued over the top of the contours. OC.

Thank you kindly Alan. OC.

Looking forward to that Dan. OC.

Afternoon all, right - washes added to the wall, then glued down, also I added wee bit more washes to the general areas to dirty it up a little, the log store still needs its extension placing. OC.

Thank Ken. OC.

Thank you kindly Mark. OC.

Looking good Alan, so hard to pull these sea scapes off, and we thought land scenery is tough, looking forward to seeing how this finishes. OC.

Tell you what mate - you have brought out the details in those Two - lovely work mate. OC.

Some lovely progress there, will you be leaving the entrance hatch open to allow some views into the cockpit? OC.

Evening all, working on my wall - random brick colours done then a dusty dry brush, this will be followed up tomorrow with a wash or Two to darken it all - kind of looks like a wall. OC.

Morning all, so working forward - I have glued down the raised floor for the wood store (no real excitement as it will be mostly covered), but the next move is to work on the brick wall, I am making this a Belgium Grey wall (as it was going from local history and pics of the period) I have done a basic primer and stone Grey coat, next I will make a few different shades of Grey - Light - Dark - Sandy in a few pools in my wet pallet (flower pot drip plate) then randomly paint the bricks the different colours, after leaving to dry I will then add my dry brushing dust - leave to dry then after add a few dark washes. OC.

Thank you so much Craig. OC.

Thank you kindly Alan. OC.

You have more guts than me for having a go at water spray etc - I think its really difficult to get right. OC.
-
Good day all, the wall is completed and dry fitted with me little man just for scale, the bottom strip will not be seen when I make up the layers for the grass and cobbles. OC.
-
Excellent work - really looks the part. OC.
-
Evening all, more work on my build - I have been detailing my wall measuring the brick spacing then engraving the mortar gaps. Its hard to get across the tiny size of the wall pieces about 12mm tall and 4mm wide and not very long was a real test on my engraving skills. OC.
-
Lovely work, the cockpit area was my fave part when I built the Revell version some years back. OC.
-
Evening all, the missing pics from yesterday, also I have started on the wall using Two thicknesses of wood joined together, it will create a left angle wall stepped down on the long run - with bricks scribed into it. OC.
